Babbitt says he is HIV-positive and is qualified to received medical marijuana. He says he told the company he received a medical marijuana card and the company told him it wasn't a problem.
But Babbitt says he was fired in November after a drug test from the previous month showed the presence of marijuana.
Babbitt's attorney says marijuana use falls under the company's definition of legal medication.
